Item 2.03     Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant

On August 25, 2022, F.N.B. Corporation (the “Corporation”) completed its offering of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.150% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold to the public at a price equal to 99.86% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The net proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of the Notes, after the underwriting discount, but before estimated transaction expenses, were approximately $348,460,000. The Notes were offered pursuant to the prospectus supplement, dated August 18, 2022, to the base prospectus, dated May 14, 2021, forming a part of the Corporation’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-256128) (the “Registration Statement”).

The Notes will mature on August 25, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 25 and August 25 of each year, commencing on February 25, 2023. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part beginning on or after the 30^th day prior to the Maturity Date, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of redemption.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of the 2.200% Senior Notes due February 2023, investments at the holding company level, providing capital to support the growth of First National Bank of Pennsylvania and refinancing of outstanding indebtedness.

The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 24, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 25, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Corporation and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes are not obligations of, and are not, and will not be, guaranteed by any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Notes and the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the form of Note. The Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the form of Note are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE 2

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

2.01    Designation and Principal Amount. The Notes may be issued from time to time upon written order of the Corporation for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as the 5.150% Senior Notes due 2025 having an initial aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000.

2.02    Maturity. The date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is August 25, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”).

2.03    Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in the last four paragraphs of Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued only in book-entry form as Global Securities. Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable in global form registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Note (as hereinafter defined). The principal of any certificated Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose which shall initially be the principal office of the Trustee at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attn: F.N.B. Corporation Administrator; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Corporation by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; provided that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of the relevant Note in the case of a payment of interest on the Maturity Date).

-2-

The Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee to act as Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The specified currency of the Notes shall be U.S. Dollars.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture, (i) all payments on Global Notes may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and (ii) any notice required to be given to Holders under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for a Global Note (or its designee), pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.

2.04 Global Note. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Corporation may from time to time designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

2.05 Interest.

(a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date with respect to the Notes shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of August 25, 2022), if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”).

(b) The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.150% per annum from August 25, 2022 until the principal of the Notes has been paid in full or a sum sufficient to pay the principal of the Notes has been made available for payment. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 25 and August 25 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 25, 2023, to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the February 10 and August 10 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”), except as provided in Section 2.05(c).

(c) The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date).

-3-

(d) In the event that the Maturity Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date). Interest due on the Maturity Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

2.06 No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

2.07 Payment of the Notes. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, redemption payments, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due. All the payments must be in U.S. Dollars.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

3.01 Optional Redemption. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the Corporation at any time except as described herein.

On or after the 30^th day prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Corporation at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus in each case accrued interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

If the Corporation elects to redeem the Notes, the Corporation will provide notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, or electronic transmission, addressed to the holders of record (which, in the case of registered global Notes, will be DTC or its nominee or a nominee of Euroclear and Clearstream) of the Notes to be redeemed. Such mailing or transmission will be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Each notice of redemption will state:

• the redemption date;

• the redemption price;

• if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

• “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of the Notes to be redeemed;

-4-

• that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption; and

• the place or places where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Corporation or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the paying agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.

10.06 Additional Trustee Provisions.

(a) Delivery to the Trustee of any reports, information and documents pursuant to the Base Indenture is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the compliance of the Corporation with any of its covenants in the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(b) The Trustee may request that the Corporation deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(c) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damage and regardless of the form of action taken.

(d) The rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

F.N.B. CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation (herein called the “Corporation”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [                 million United States dollars on August ____, 202[__] and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on August ____, 202[__], or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. The Corporation further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including August ____, 2022, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on February ____ and August                 in each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing February                 , 2023 at the rate of                 % per annum, computed for any full semiannual period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and computed for any partial semiannual period on the actual days elapsed during such period, until the principal hereof is due, and at the rate of                 % per annum on any overdue principal amounts, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (defined below) for such interest, which shall be the February                 and August                 , as the case may be, of each year (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on the Outstanding Notes payable at maturity will be payable to the persons to whom principal is payable next preceding such Interest Payment Date. In any case where such Interest Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture) payment of such interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and, if such payment is so made, no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Corporation, with notice thereof to be given by the Trustee to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any automated quotation system or securities exchange on which the Notes may be quoted or listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such system or exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Payment of principal and interest shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as may be designated by the Corporation for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, by Dollar check drawn on, or transfer to, a Dollar account. Payments of interest on this Note may be made by Dollar check, drawn on a Dollar account, mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or, upon written application by the Holder to the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a Dollar account.

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Corporation shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF THE NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Corporation designated as its “                % Senior Notes due 202[__]” (the “Notes”). The Notes, taken together, are initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $_________ issued and are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 24, 2020 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Corporation and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 25, 2022, between the Corporation and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Notes in the requested denominations.

[On or after ______, the Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus in each case accrued interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

If the Corporation elects to redeem the Notes, the Corporation will provide notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, or electronic transmission, addressed to the holders of record (which, in the case of registered global Notes, will be DTC or its nominee or a nominee of Euroclear and Clearstream) of the Notes to be redeemed. Such mailing or transmission will be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Each notice of redemption will state:

• the redemption date;

• the redemption price;

• if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

• “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of the Notes to be redeemed;

• that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption; and

• the place or places where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

A-5

If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Corporation or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the paying agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.]

The Notes are not be subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

The Notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Corporation may, without consent of the holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional securities in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Notes, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the date of issuance of the additional securities, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes and any additional Notes issued by the Corporation would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note at any Place of Payment, as the case may be, is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.

A-6

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 20 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on this Note or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Notes will be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance pursuant to Sections 13.2 and 13.3 of the Base Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as may be designated by it for such purpose (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Corporation may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Corporation in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Corporation or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to F.N.B. Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Corporation”), in connection with the issuance by the Corporation of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.150% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) pursuant to a Registration Statement (No. 333-256128) on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Corporation is filing the Underwriting Agreement and this opinion letter with the Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”).

The Notes will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 24, 2020, as supplemented and amended by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 25, 2022, (together, the “Indenture”), in each case between the Corporation and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The sale of the Notes will be made pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated August 18, 2022, by and among, on the one hand, the Corporation, as issuer, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”).

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed originals or copies of the following documents: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the prospectus dated May 14, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), forming a part of the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the definitive prospectus supplement dated August 18, 2022 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Notes; (iii) the Underwriting Agreement; (iv) the Indenture; (v) the form of the Notes; and (vi) such certificates, statements and results of inquiries of public officials and officers and representatives of the Corporation and originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, corporate records, certificates and instruments, in each case as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed herein. In our review, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have further assumed, as to matters of fact, the truthfulness of the representations made in certificates of public officials and of officers of the Corporation.

F.N.B. Corporation August 25, 2022 Page 2

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, when the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and the Corporation, and when the Notes have been duly executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and issued and delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in accordance with their terms.

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effects of general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity; (iii) the enforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; (iv) the application, if any, of laws concerning (a) state securities law matters, (b) tax or tax effects or (c) environmental matters; (v) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; and (vi) the enforceability of the waiver of rights or defenses contained in the Indenture or the Notes.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that: (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has not been terminated or rescinded; and (ii) the Notes will be issued and sold in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of New York and we express no opinion with respect to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission on the date hereof and to the incorporation by reference of this opinion in the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Certain Legal Matters” in each of the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Reed Smith LLP
